[computer-go] engine + gui protocol?

[Joshua Shriver <jshriver@xxxxxxxxx>]

Is there a protocol for attaching an engine to a GUI or even the KGS server?
For chess ppl here, I'm looking for something along the lines of the
xboard and uci protocol and a client that can utilize this to interact
with 
a go server.

If so where is the official protocal specification, or a writeup explaning it.
If so is it pipe based or socket based?

Thanks for the info in advance and to all of those who have already helped me today :)

-Josh
